It’s all about the up cycle these days –
I have some cute up cycle uses for old neckties that you’re going to love!
Use a tie to make a case for your
glasses. Take a tie and cut it twenty
inches from the point. Fold the raw end
in and use a hot iron to make a clean edge.
Check the inside of the tie to see if
you need to snip any threads that are blocking the pocket that you are making.
Fold the small end up and stitch to
secure the sides in place. Then, use
your iron to crease the flap into place; you can also add a snap or some Velcro
as a closure for the case!
Use the same technique but a little smaller to make a cute
wallet or coin purse! Use some ties to make a lampshade. Cut the ties to the length you need to cover
the shade, you will want to leave enough extra to make a clean seam that
overlaps the top edge of the shade.
Use hot glue to secure the ties to the shade. You want to
place the ties so that they will either butt right up against each other, or
that they overlap hiding the shade completely. Leave the point of the tie
hanging over the bottom edge acting as a trim.
With no modifications at all you can use a necktie as a
headband, a belt or a cute purse accessory. Try these reuses for yourself! I’m Mrs. Fixit and it’s just that simple.
